In addition to the core quartet, each week will feature guest appearances by members of the ETHS Jazz Band and musicians from The Butcher Boy School of Music in Evanston, adding even more local flavor to the mix.
The event is free and open to the public, with music lovers of all ages encouraged to bring a chair, grab lunch, ice cream or coffee from a nearby eatery, and enjoy top-tier jazz in a relaxed, outdoor setting. While admission is free, tips are appreciated to help support these talented young musicians.
